During the Second World War in France, the naval officer Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Emile Gagnan, an engineer, invented the first autonomous open circuit system, operatingsafely and efficiently. It was originally invented for military purposes, but when the war ended, it was used for fun and science.
Buoyancy
An object submerged pushes up the water to equal the weight ofthe quantity of water in which it lies; this means that if an object displaces an amount of water that weighs more than its own weight, it will float, if an object displaces an amount of water thatweighs less than its own weight , it will sink. The diver controls the buoyancy of the equipment by using two elements: weights and a buoyancy control device.
